I like it, personally. Year long. Person with the best record at the end of the year wins. Like the premiere league.

Shit would be so crazy oh shit brahs

my bad to the participants in battles i missed. i passed out halfway into them.

uh. did i miss playoff sign ups?

You signed up.

Remember the RSTL. That shit would go like 52 weeks.

Do a 48 week league. Top 8 make playoffs. Have special "boosters" or "enhancements" that can cause people to get strategic with wins/losses.

If you get more than 20 people to do this, you can DO A LOT OF cool shit with IT.

I have ideas, haha

There weren't seasons in the RSTL originally. Records were continual. I think they changed that in the past couple years before it died.

48 weeks. 12 weeks of 4 different things. Picture, Quote, 1 word, theme week or something

I think it would kill the urgency of voting deadlines and dropping out whenever wouldn't have any real consequences. I had an idea, but it wasn't well thought out, so for once I'll keep it to myself.
















This new keyboard blows.

The more I think about it, the more I agree. A year-round league requires a much deeper entrant pool.

We have a gigantic entrant pool. It just hasn't been tapped recently.

i can assure you it wasnt me. i will investigate this matter further though

Gigantic? I think the interest in an open tournament will be high. I don't think there are many people who consistently would show and vote in an unending league.

and a 48 week league sounds horrible tbh

I say we do a year round league and a tourney every few weeks with the ppl that would be considered playoff contenders and/or a tourney for the bottom half in the rankings. Either way the playoffs should still go as planned right now

I think it is complicated to predict but either way would get repetitive and boring

I just wanna be 162-2 as the new champ.

Let a ninja eatttt

jk

Matchups are posted in the OP. Threads will go up tonight.

And since I'm sure there is interest in this, I'll post the breakdown for the three-win glut and why YDK landed the final spot. The number next to the competitor's name is how many wins were racked up by the people they beat. This was the method we've said we would use all season.

YDK, 9 - Mike Wrecka, Buddha and Scripter
Just Write, 8 - Mike Wrecka, Objective and Aesthetic.
Innovator, 8 - breathless, YDK and Scripter.
ThisisDAM, 7 - ZYG, symetrik and King Ra.
Zenland, 7 - Innovator, symetrik and King Ra.
Adonis, 4 - Buddha, Clutter Buck and Fig.
ZYG, 3 - Mordycai, Genocide and Pinot Grij.

And finally, to keep people abreast of the situation, Mike Wrecka is taking a brief leave of moderating duties but approved all of this.

I'm the guy you can bitch to now, if you're so inclined.
